Why Kids Are Missing So Much Kindergarten?

We’ve become familiar with the cliche of the high school dropout. But maybe it’s the kindergarten ditchers we should be paying attention to.

Students in California are missing school early — as early as kindergarten, according to a new report from the state attorney general’s office.

The report analyzed data on about 350,000 California elementary school students throughout the state. It found that more than any other students, kindergarteners missed at least one-tenth of the school year.
